Caruso was healthy until he suddenly went into respiratory arrest and died one week ago -- reportedly after "drinking something."
Stephen Abbondandolo knew Caruso, and said, "It was really sad, he was a great guy. If you needed anything, he'd always help you out."
Meanwhile, the Hard Rock Hotel announced they are removing all liquor dispensers from minibars in the Dominican Republic due to fears the deaths may be linked to liquor.
